Tested: Lexus CT200h Prestige hybrid hatch

Think prestigious hatchbacks and relative newcomers such as the BMW 1-Series and Audi A3 typically lead the debate. But there's a newer kid on the grid in the form of the Lexus CT 200h.

As denoted by the ''h'' in its name, the CT 200h is the latest in a string of Lexus hybrids and, as with the Toyota Prius it shares an engine with, it's only available as such. Lexus holds high hopes that the petrol-electric five-door will attract a new breed of would-be owners, including those who can't stretch to a more expensive model.
